In a few days we’ll begin the last half of 2017. Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year?!
For me, 2017 has already been filled with ups and downs, as I’m sure it has also been for you. The mid-point of the year is always a good time to:
- Review the goals you set at the beginning of the year.
- See which ones you accomplished.
- Re-commit to the ones you have yet to accomplish.
My Passion Planner has an entire section devoted to doing just that between its June and July pages. (I really love having a paper calendar again!)
There may have been some bumps in the road since January to cause you to get behind on your goals. But, there’s still some time to re-focus and catch up.
5 Steps to Salvaging the Last Half of 2017
- Think back to what your goals were at the beginning of the year. Did they include discovering new passions? Making more money? Starting or completing a special project? Finding a new job or new career?
- Find your notes where you put these goals down in writing. If you didn’t write them down, then DO SO NOW! Did you know, people who write down their goals are 50% more likely to achieve their goals than those who don’t?
- Start breaking your goals down into smaller goals. See if you can set a deadline of December 31st, 2017 to some, if not all, of these smaller goals.
- Begin working on your smaller goals TODAY. By doing so, you should be able to accomplish at least part of the bigger goals by December 31st as well.
- Don’t beat yourself up if this deadline doesn’t seem realistic for each goal. Right now, just focus on what you can accomplish by the end of the next six months. Once you have, you’ll gain more momentum and more motivation going into 2018.
